[PATCH] x86/AMD: Apply erratum 665 on machines without a BIOS fix

Show all headers | View raw

From: Emanuel Czirai <icanrealizeum@gmail.com>

AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave
unpredictably. The workaround is to set MSRC001_1029[31] but sometimes
there is no BIOS update containing that workaround so let's do it
ourselves in that case. It is simple enough.
